BRIEF: Local home loan delinquencies rise

The number of Dayton area homeowners 90 days delinquent or more on their home loans has hovered near seven percent for more than two years, according to CoreLogic.

Today, CoreLogic said the April delinquency rate in the Dayton metro region was 6.69 percent, up from 6.59 percent in March and 6.56 percent the same month a year ago. CoreLogic is a California-based consumer, financial and property data analytics firm. In April 2010, the delinquency rate was 7.01 percent.

The foreclosure rate of loans in some stage of the foreclosure process in April was 3.23 percent, according to the company.

Other recently released foreclosure data by RealtyTrac showed in May, the number of foreclosure filings for defaults, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions in the Dayton area spiked as mortgage servicers unclogged their pipeline of foreclosure proceedings. The majority of those filings last month were notices of auction, according to RealtyTrac.
